All Blogs – Why I Love CEDIA’s EXPO

Why I Love CEDIA’s EXPOWritten by: John Sciacca8/14/2012 5:35 AMAs someone who has attended a number of tradeshows, I can easily – and honestly – claim that the annual CEDIA EXPO is my favorite. (It’s held each year in September, and will be in Indianapolis from the 5th to the 8th this year.)

While the other events have their plusses, the EXPO is the one industry event that I consider a must attend for anyone truly serious about the industry. Since I became a custom installer in 1998, I’ve only missed a single EXPO, in ’99. (There was a watery, panicky moment when I thought this year’s EXPO might conflict with Lauryn’s first day of school, but fortunately CEDIA and the South Carolina board of education sorted their schedules out for me.)

But what makes the EXPO so special? Here’s four reasons why I love it and look forward to attending each year and why I think you should to.
